Introducing Florence & George In the early 1980s, Florence and George Theriault opened a small mail-order company, Dollmasters as a companion to their renowned auction house, Theriault’s of Annapolis, Maryland.

From its beginning the firm specialized in memorabilia from vintage childhoods, designed for the adult collector. Now that it is time for a change, we couldn’t pick a better name than “Florence & George."

Whatever the name, though, you’ll find we have what you are looking for, because we don’t just remember childhood, we revere it.

TRIO OF VINTAGESTYLE "BOTTLE BRUSH" TREES Don't miss the forest for this trio of fine deep-red and green bottle brush trees.

Each tree comes with a weighted base, is frosted for a "snowy" appearance and is decorated with a variety of Christmas-colored ornaments. Set of three trees, 8", 10", 12". HX-560. $65.

RED VINTAGE HOUSE Hard to imagine a more perfect place to spend Christmas day in than this snow-capped red mountain cottage with a lawn adorned with three bottle brush Christmas trees and a frozen but friendly snowman. Like all our cardboard houses (more of which can be found on page 10-11) an opening at the back wall allows for a small light to be placed inside, giving the home a warm inviting glow. 10" x 10".

HX-558. $65.

SANTA’S COUNTDOWN CALENDAR } Now you can count down the days to Christmas with this large and festive tin sign featuring a snowcovered classic Santa about to descend into a chimney. 18” x 12”.

Scott Nelles

The Bronze Sculptures For Scott Nelles, the journey to artistry began in the 1970s when he took work in a small privately-owned foundry in the Pacific Northwest. Days spent boiling over industrial fires were followed by evenings simmering in a basement workshop. Time and devotion forged the artist that Scott Nelles became. Each bronze and aluminum sculpture is cast in a mold hand-sculpted by Nelles and then sandblasted and polished to a rich lustrous finish. Each is signed and dated by the artist.

VEGA DREAMIN' The plane has such a stylized and classic design that you visualize the French revolutionary and his wife getting on board for the flight to America. 16” wingspan. 4”h.

SN-008. $285.

| THE MAJESTIC FERRIS WHEEL The world was introduced to the ferris wheel in 1893 in Chicago and 120 years later Scott Nelles commemorated that event with his most audacious work yet. Standing over 2 feet tall (28”) the Majestic Ferris Wheel is constructed entirely of aluminum and bronze and features a functioning hand crank to spin the ferris wheel.

Rests on a 15” square base. 28”h.

SN-012. $2900.

| LAND SPEED RACER The perfect art deco display piece, the Land Speed Racer recalls the time when race cars were built in equal parts form and function.

The tradition of preserving memorabilia of Shirley Temple's life and career had begun with her mother, Gertrude Temple, who had carefully cherished objects from the child star's decade of work in the 1930s. As the 1940s ensued, the task fell into the hands of Shirley Temple herself, and the torch was carried admirably. The objects presented in this commemorative book have been cherished and carefully saved by Shirley and her family for threequarters of a century ... until today. toll-free 800-966-3655 | florenceandgeorge.com |
